_________________________

Knights of Legend is set in the fantasy land of Ashtalarea. The evil Pildar has captured the ruler of the land, known as the Duke, and a warrior named Seggallion, who has fought and defeated Pildar in the past. The player controls a party of adventurers whose quest is to rescue the prisoners, and eventually vanquish Pildar.

The player can create a party of adventurers, choosing between the traditional races of humans, dwarves, and elves, as well as a new race called Keldar, who possesses the power of flight. The game world is explored from top-down perspective. Turn-based combat takes place on separate screens. The combat system in the game is quite complex, including various types of attacks, parrying and dodging, as well as the possibility of targeting individual body parts of enemies. The player also selects commands for a defensive round, trying to anticipate the opponent's move.

Trivia
Knights of Legend was designed to allow future expansion packs, with new lands to explore and quests to complete. Unfortunately, the capability was never taken advantage of.

Description from the packaging:

Your heart pounds as you maneuver toward the fearsome Stone Ogre. Ducking under the wide arc cut by its huge axe, you thrust high and widen the beast's toothy grin. But the Ogre counters, its rusty blade swinging through your chainmail and into your right thigh. The wound isn't much, but as the battle wears on, it and your heavy mail make every move more fatiguing.
Desperately, you slash at the Ogre, driving it back, and earning yourself a moment's rest. Taking a deep breath, you lunge at the Ogre- hitting it right between its squinty eyes! The monster staggers, then falls. Wiping the sweat from your brow, you scan the field for your next foe..

A captivating world...
Experience the thrill of battle. Aim every blow, feel every wound, and discover the fatigue that can be as lethal as a swordblow.
Meet the fascinating residents of Ashtalarea. Learn their faces, listen to their stories. They all have their own tale to tell.
Prepare for the elements- the harsh rains and blizzards are as dangerous to your company as a band of vicious Cliff Trolls.

...with bold adventurers...
Become a brawny Krag Barbarian, a stalwart Tegal Amazon, or a winged Kelden Far Seeker. Choose from four races and more then 40 different classes.
Adventure with up to six companions, chosen from any characters you've created- or invite your friends to join with their own.
Watch your characters suit up for battle, choosing from hundreds of combinations of weapons and armor.
Learn spells from a master sorcerer, then change them to suit your needs- the power of a spell, its effect, its range, even its name.

...is only the beginning!
You'll explore the expansive Realm of Ashtalarea, but the innovative modular design of Knights of Legend, allows the development of future realms of adventure.
Hundreds of unique quests and subquests, with their own challenges and rewards.
